Top Recruit Collapses After Receiving Three-Year Prison Sentence (VIDEO)

If this kid hadnt agreed to a plea deal there’s no telling how many years he got. With a 3 year sentence he can still have time to turn his life around and maybe keep basketball in his future. He’d be 21 when he got out he could do the JuCo route and see what happens. But still do something like that you gotta know consequences are coming

You guys are missing my point so I will all cap it. DUDE IS DEAD ASS WRONG AND DESERVES PUNISHMENT! THE VICTIM (only person and opinion that matters) HAS MADE PEACE AND HAS FORGAVE AND ASKED NOT TO PUT HIM IN PRISON. THEN WHAT GIVES U ME OR SOCIETY TO SAY ANY DIFFERENT. put the young man on probation and yes make him pay $$$. I am not saying no dumb Shlt like I’m cool with my kid getting fu*ked up so I can get $$. real rap,if it really was MY daughter I would prob be gettin locked right along with him for beating his ass.

Forgiveness is all in the bible, and if shorty is good with him, then let’s move on and put the robbers, killers, and sandusky’s in jail.

3 years is fine, he can get out and still go overseas..he’s fine…

How you gonna say her opinion don’t matter??? She the most important one by far. Yea she might be emotional but I’m sure somebody asked her are u sure ? And presented the whole other side to her and she was like Naw no jail time. Fine no jail time it is them two must stay away . Dude get probation and big fine. Now GO TO SCHOOL AND GET A EDUCATION instead of a di*k in your booty.

they did ask her. and totally ignored what she said.
.
Allen, his reaction is to the judge saying 7 years, then he signed a 3 year plea.
.
And i never once said i think the kid should get 3 years, i even said that seems excessive. but i know a kid who did something like that and got away scot free because there was some BS mistake by the police during the investigation. and guess what?

i didn’t say the justice system is fair. never ever did i say that.

@T-RAY—-If you read some of nbk troll’s prior comments, he clearly stated that he has a daughter and if his daughter had gotten beaten and she forgave him, then he would forgive him too and expect some type of compensation when (more so now, IF) he becomes pro. When someone makes a comment like that, like they’re looking to profit from someone’s pain, especially his own seed, his own flesh and blood, there’s NO WAY you can tell me that he hasn’t cheapened/devalued her life. (THESE ARE HIS WORDS, SIR. NOT MINE!!!)

See Rihanna on Oprah.

Do the lime
Try not to get football numbers
Got it

Not sure if there’s a better video online, but this seems to shows a glimpse. Acting real tough beating on a girl half his size… Anyone care to defend that it’s ok?

All these young dudes are insecure, if I was the judge I’d send him to the Marine Corp- ship him out to some 3rd world slum to learn how to work in a group, that would do him some good, but prison not so much, for the most part its mostly filled with scum with no morals or respect to the code.

CNN has the surveillence video of him beating her up, he deserves this sentence.

Those 3 years in prison should make him a better “ball handler.”

ORANGE wins.

Ccb_fanatic: Thanks for being the only person intelligent enough to notice how Kevin’s outrage for the potential violation of his daughter is dependent on his personal financial gain. Kevin, do the world a favor and get a vasectomy. You’re probably a teen dad reproducing what will be vulnerable young girls born out of wedlock. Thanks to you, your daughter will be more susceptible to jerks like this punk in the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JELaTPVrA78 some of the surveillance video of him hitting his ex

i wonder why i didnt read a comment by J-Taylor saying smth like that this was no suprise by one of those lazy people from the ghetto

@jayrose-Thanks for telling it like it is. It’s sad that boys (not men) putting their hands on women is the norm today. Where I’m from we call these guys PUNKS and COWARDS. And I think you’re on to something about “latent homosexuals”. LOL. You have to wonder about people who still takes the boy’s side even after watching the tape. But I have many questions regarding their “relationship”? First, I would like to know if this young lady told anyone (her mom, a friend,…someone) that this boy put his hands on her before, and if she didn’t, why not? And two, where are the fathers (not the coaches) in this situation? Why doesn’t her father know that she accepted (until eventually she broke up with him) him treating her that way and why doesn’t his father know that his son feels he can put his hands on women? I think all parties involved need some seriously counseling, but let him get his in jail.

If any of you pro wifebeaters on here actually give a damn about the man, get involved in your local prison and help those there prepare for life after. Right now, society as a whole (and particularly those far removed from urban hellholes) do absolutely nothing to ensure that you come out of prison a better man (or ocassionally woman) than you went in. That’s a reality, and its not fair because we know it hits the poor and the non-white harder (I’m white for disclosure purposes, so I’m not saying this as an agrieved victim). So if you’re somehow outraged on his behalf, go to your local prison and figure out what you can share 1 hour a week to ensure that who comes out is not who went in. Also, if you think this is bad, teach your kids especially male kids not to hit if they get mad. Teach your kids especially your female kids to tell right away, because it never gets better, but often gets worse. This applies even for the 2-4 percent of your kids that are gay, since you can still be beaten or beat in a same sex relationship.

another Robert Whaley smh look him up

An 18 year is far from a lil kid. That’s a grown man, as immature as most 18 year olds are. If you are old enough to fight an die for your country you are old enough to serve a prison sentence. He’ll be more vulnerable than most of his cell block mates, but so was the girlfirend whom he beat savagely. She was as powerless to stop him as he will be to stop those guys if they choose to bestow the same treatment upon him. The girl predicatbly feels guilt and love for her abuser. That doesn’t mean he’s not worthy of prison. A child who is molested by a parent will likely feel the same. Does that mean the parent shouldn’t go to prison? And if an 18 year old shouldn’t go to jail for violent crimes, then why should a 19yr old? At what point do we draw the line if not legal adulthood? What message would be sent by him not being punished? If you have a talent you’re really good at, we’ll treat your violent behavior more leniently. No one would object to his sentence if he didn’t dribble a basketball well. Now he can dribble and shoot in the rec yard.

by lil kid i jus wanted to express my disrespect towards him. but still, you say he wouldnt deserve military benefits (i dont know of many vets who benefited much by being in the military tho as soldiers r being traditionally exploited n dropped after their service) but i say if theyd punish young offenders like this, that guys would benefit and the most important thing would happen: theyd most likely become a valuable part of society. punishment and prisons simply have never and will never work for the great majority of offenders. you cant put the death penalty on any little bull***t so there are many many many guys who return to society way more f**d up and dangerous after prison than they were b4. so what does it help to satisfy the victim or victims familys desire for punishment (ok in this case there is none)? its way more important to turn “bad guys” into “good guys”. there are jus few exceptions who should be locked away for their whole life because their criminal energy comes due to pathological circumstanses. prisons should only used for this kind of persons and for these only.

The idea that offenders should benefit from anything but a lesson learned from doing time for violent crime is absurd. Protection of the public comes first; secondary is rehabilitation for offenders. If his victim were a child or an elderly person would we really debate what kind of punishment he deserves? Violent criminals do not deserve to be trained with special weapons and put on a battle field. I think jayrose nailed it with his quote about violence towards women. Sympathy for the perp and his family, who failed to provide him with the emotional security necessary to not act out anger in the form of violence, is really disgusting. Women are valued so little it’s frightening. JTaytor21 pretty much summed up why society will unjustly use it’s hatred of black males to forever casts us as savages. We don’t even treat our own women like living, breathing creatures. A damn near six eight man gives a female beatdown and we question his punishment?. That’s sick. I think most of the people who commented up top are sick. The easiest route to take is “We don’t know what she did; it’s sad for both of them”. That’s a coward’s comment. The contempt for women is often rooted in and justified by misogynistic, patriarchal religions who preach that victims ought to forgive their trespassers. Think for yourselves for once. Common human decency dictates that this guy be punished in the manner that he was. I’d love to hear all the empathy felt for the guy that beats the sh!t out of all of your daughters one day. See how fast all that forgiveness crap flies out the window.

Dan, I will never argue that our prison or justice system isn’t deeply flawed in some of the worst ways. Nor will I sit here and argue that that the Western world’s co-called valued institutions aren’t designed to ensure caucasian superiority. These things are evident to anyone who isn’t afraid to call a spade a spade. The problem I feel is that your general view is misguided when it comes to certain offenders. This guy isn’t a drug dealer or thief. His crimes include extreme violence. The whole idea of rehabilitation isn’t applicable to each and every case of crime. His offenses stem from his mental state, which obviously includes a sense of entitlement to do what he does. Nothing solidified this more than his reaction to his sentence. He still doesn’t view his offenses as worthy of significant punishment. He beat this girl and honestly feels that her forgiveness absolves him of any further responsibility. That says a lot. It’s a clear indication of what kind of personality he has. I challenge anyone to find any sort of credible/reputable proof that personality issues are treatable. Extremely violent offenders, much like sex offenders, have almost no real chance of rehabilitation. He should be overjoyed at a mere three year sentence. We always turn the attention to whether or not the criminal got the raw end of the stick when women are victims. We ALWAYS find other areas to focus on besides their right to justice. Show me a woman beater who says he has only or will only beat one girl and I will show you a liar.
